Morag MacInnes makes both domestic ware - earthenware plates, platters and pots - and smoke fired dogs and other sculpture, mermaids and chests. Morag is interested in myths archetypes and symbolic imagery that reoccurs across time,countries and continents. Primitive and ancient cultures appeal to her and she enjoys creating a humourous new twist on old themes.

She wants to make objects with resonance that feel as if they have existed before, objects that capture the essential nature of the story whether a light joke or a dark secret.

​

Plates are earthenware, made of terracotta clay, painted with white slip and then decorated with underglazes and oxides . Fired to 1000 degrees. Then a glossy transparent glaze is applied and fired to 1080 degrees. They are safe to eat from and safe for the dishwasher.
